Crossing...or completely jumped over the line then looked back and pissed on the line. He is out of control. Its not leadership if no one is following you. Paul George is basically roasting everyone and sounding like a jerk doing it.

He leaves Indiana it looks like.

I would take him...but of the 3s that I would want...I would take Gordon Hayward before him. I know he is a lot more talented than Gordon but i think Gordon would mesh better with us because he wouldn't try to usurp Walls leadership with crazy comments like..."i gotta take the last shot"...while shooting 0-15 within the last 15 seconds of a game ending...which makes him delusional and unclutch

I'd take George over Hayward on our team because George is a better defender - a legit stopper. Also, George can play some 4. Haywood is the better offensive player, but I'm not too worried about offense on a team that also has Wall, Beal and Gortat.

Man, Toronto is a terrible team to watch on offense. Nothing but isolation.

Yeah DeRozan scores, but very painful to watch him dribble for 15 seconds.

With Isiah on your team ...you are playing 4 vs 5 on the boards. IT is a liability when you are crashing the board in a gritty game.

This Boston time is just an all time bad postseason team - they're bad that everything that's important.

I also don't know if there's one guy on that team that's going to be worth his next contract.

This Milwaukee team is legit. God help the East once Giannis learns how to shoot.

Toronto is in trouble...even if they win this game...they cant stop Milwaukee. Milwaukee needs to be stopped now before they get confidence. I would rather see Cleveland Toronto because I think Toronto will tire the Cavs out more than Milwaukee. If Milwaukee beats Toronto they may be satisfied with getting out of the first round and lay down in the second round.

IT is going to score but I like Chicago's strategy of letting Butler guard him at times. Over a 7 game series I like Chicago more, if they figure out how to frustrate Thomas on offense they should win.

Rondo/Butler/Wade are scary when motivated.....all three of them can play at a very high level on both offense and defense.

Agreed. Cleveland seems like the type of team built to handle Milwaukee. Milwaukee's length can wreak havoc on the perimeter, but Cleveland has the ability to pound them in the paint with Love and Lebron in the post, and Thompson on the weak side crashing the glass.

Man it would Suck to survive the Lebron years and then have Milwaukee become the new kings of the east. Gianni's is going to own the NBA if he gets a jump shot. His length, athletism and mobility make him the perfect basketball player...if he has a jump shot. I thought Lebron had the perfect body...but could Giannis have a better basketball body?

Toronto has shot 12-22 from behind the arc yet they're still only up 4.

He can legitimately play center or PG. I've never seen anything like him.

(Magic played center for the Lakers in a playoff game once, but he wan't a true rim protector. He could legitimately play PF but not C.)

Rondo/Butler/Wade are scary when motivated.....all three of them can play at a very high level on both offense and defense.

Its like Rondo and Wade turned it up a few notches for the playoffs. This is not a wade or rondo i have seen this year. It is scary because rondo is crashing the boards and driving at will. Wade is playing a few years younger... wtf happened!?!?!

Meh, Wade hasn't done much, but Rondo has been amazing.

Giannis is evolution- Like Cam Newton playing QB...

Wade is playing hard and moving well. That does not bode well for the celtics because we all know he CAN play when healthy.

Both of those guys have always upped their intensity/games significantly in the playoffs. Never been a fan of Wade, but I find myself rooting for him with the Bulls.

He's played very well in my eyes (of course when you don't compare it to Miami Wade). He went way above the rim last game for a block. Shocked me.

He has the old man Jordan vibe going on.

The Greek Freak is so unfair.
